Tri'siMit OwiHM'Sliip Maps.
I T"e contract for the present own
I er maps has not yet been filed in
I,
the office of the county clerk, and
- ! we believe that before the Lkapkr
gets through telling the people
about it that it never will be filed
in the clerk's office, or elsewhere,
except among those things which
might have been. We believe that
the indignation, of the taxpayers
will be so great that the commis
sioners w ill not dare to carry out
the infamous agreement.
The Lkapkr misunderstood the
terms of the proposed contract last
week. We understood, that Par
ker and Van Winkle were to re
ceive the stale tax and four mills
ol the-county fund, based on the
valuation of the property found
that was not assessed on the origi
nal roll. We have since been in
formed by Commissioner Trapp
that they are to receive a total of 1 1
mills, and if the state levy did not
reach 7 mills, as last year, the dif
ference was to b mfl.lp up out of
the countv fund. This would take
6 7-10 mills from the county funds
and 4 3-10 mills stale tax.
Now let (is look at the thing and
figure ti little. Under this agree
incut; If it is consuniated, the eon
tractors are to get $1 1 out of every
$ 19.30 the county collects ofl dis
covered property, or property iiot
on the original tax roll, for finding
it. On top of this the sheriff is to
be paid ti reasonable compensation
for assessing, and the per cent, for
collecting'and considerable more
than half of the tax is gone tor
finding, assessing and collecting it
Take this example: Dlain & Hale
of Albany, own 108 lots in Toledo
The value of these at $20 per lot
which is below the average that
unimproved lots in Toledo were
valued at, would reach a total of
52,160, and the total tax would be
fM.48. I'or "finding" this prop
erty (that was never . lost) Messrs.
Parker and Van Winkle get $22, 76
and the county still has the sheriff
to pay for assessing and collecting
me tax. iur. inxpayer, no you
blame the Lhai.Kr tor kicking?
It is argued in defense of this
proposed outrage that the contract
ors do not get anything if the taxes
are not paid. Neither does the
county, and if the tuxes are not
paid the property had just as well
remain undiscovered
And what proportion of this un
discovered property was really un
discovered and what proportion
was noi, no one out the assessor
will ever know. From the nbove
example it is plain to tie seen hal
it pays much better to "discover
ptoperty than to assess i at $3 per
day as the law provides
For a mouth or more before he
completed his assessment Assessor
Parker was figuring with certain
meiuiicrs 01 the commissioner's
...... i - i"
court 011 making a supplementary
assessment roll. .Perhaps that hud
something to do with property
secreting itself so th.it it could not
be assessed at the regular price of
$3 per day. ,
Now let us look at this assessing
business a little. Mr. Parker be
gan asses'sini; about the middle of
April and turned the roll over about
the first of October. For his ser
vices during this time he was paid
$834.70 by the county, or more
than $r, for every day he worked.
How well did he do his work? In
the town and immediate vicinity of
loledo wefind the i.llowing parties
omitted from the roll: Plain &
Hale ownini; !oH lots in Toledo and
a third interest in 13R more in the
same place; Coll Van Cleve and
his printing ollice arc omitted; J.
S. Copland was assessed but his
name docs not appear on the roll;

be hard to discover if a person wa3
to get one-half of the tax, almost,
for "finding" it? Does any sane

The poor old benighted Capital
Journal, of Salens has just w aked
up to the fact that there has been
something rotten with the Oregon
Pacific railroad. Last fall when
the Lkapkr was fighting hard and
strong against the gang that wa
absording all the earnings of the
road and starvirig the etniJoyes,
the editor of the Journal was riding
over the road on a free pass and
writing sickening articles about
tunnel kissing ana mowing up
Hadley and Mulcahy with alt the"
wind he could raise. It is easy td
kick ft dead man.
rr . :
And so the Lkapkr is a "Sim-.,
day Mercury," is it? It is goiu
to be starved to death is it, because
it dares to defend the county against
the presetjt ownership map busi
ness? It is going to be crushed, is
it? Well gentlemen, just get right
in w ith the starving and crushing
business. It may be possible to do
it, hut the people are going to hear
the truth just the" same, and we!
have a confirmed belief that the
"starving" and "crushing" busi
ness is going to be slow and pain
ful. In the article coiicernjng tho
present owliership maps and assess
ing in last week's Lkapkr an in
advertent mistake was made in the'
figures of Van Winkle's bid oil
transcribing the county teeords last
spring. The type made us say thaf
his bid was 787 w hen it shonlif
have'siifd $3,787. The other figures'
which followed it showed plainly
what was intended to have been
said. J
